Can I use other types of glue?

While liquid school glue is best for this project, alternatives like craft glue can also work, but avoid adhesive that dries too hard or brittle.

How do I store leftover materials?

Make sure to seal your watercolors and clean your brushes after use. If you have extra salt, store it in an airtight container for future projects.

Once your jellyfish painting is completely dry, simply frame it or adhere it to a sturdy piece of cardboard for added backing before hanging.

Create a vibrant rainbow salt painting jellyfish to brighten up your home decor while enjoying a hands-on crafting experience.

Prepare your workspace: Lay down newspaper or a plastic sheet to protect your area from paint spills.
Sketch the jellyfish: Lightly draw a large jellyfish shape on your heavyweight paper or canvas.
Apply glue: Use your paintbrush to apply a generous amount of liquid glue within the lines of your jellyfish sketch.
Sprinkle salt: Immediately sprinkle salt over the glued areas, covering them completely.
Mix watercolors: Prepare your watercolor by mixing with water in containers.
Drip watercolor: Using your paintbrush, drizzle the mixed watercolors onto the salt.
Let it dry: Allow your painting to dry completely, which might take a few hours.
Finish your artwork: Once dry, gently shake off the excess salt to reveal your vibrant jellyfish.

This project is a great way to engage children in a fun, educational activity while improving their fine motor skills.
